Preferred Label : parametric processes;
IUPAC acronym : OPO; OPA; SHG; SFG; OPG; DFG;
IUPAC definition : Interaction of photons in a non-linear medium satisfying the energy and momentum conservation
laws. During the interaction the photon frequencies are mixed and photon(s) with different
frequencies are created.;
Scope note : optical parametric processes of three interacting beams, called frequency mixing processes,
are: second-harmonic generation (shg), sum-frequency generation (sfg), difference-frequency
generation (dfg), optical parametric generation and amplification (opg and opa), and
optical parametric oscillation (opo).;
